Great interview, smart, very smart. Pay attention to the FRAUD within mainstream investments and how her knowledge leads to her enthusiasm for Bitcoin. My take? The mainstream fraud is 10 times worse than even she mentions here. It is in every layer of stocks, bonds, real estate, derivatives, even gold and silver "markets," top to bottom, super high unrealized RISK!

"Logic is the "mechanics" of thought and of
analysis, the process of identifying fallacious arguments and statements and so
systematically removing contradictions, thereby producing factual knowledge
that can be trusted."

Many market pundits claim to analyze market FUNDAMENTALS. But the vast majority of professional market analysts are simply talking their own book, they are divorced from reality. Those who are afraid to examine reality are removed from it. For the sake of your money, your family, your nation, please don’t let that be you! Please, please take the time to learn about how our nation, our money, and our markets actually work… this is relevant to why I am supportive of the Cryptocurrency revolution.

We cannot truly examine markets unless we’re willing to understand the forces acting upon them. So much so, that once a person does understand reality, then they will come to understand that ALL traditional markets today are owned, controlled, and manipulated by the same people.

How did this happen? It happened because our elected representatives to Congress in the year 1913 illegally and unconstitutionally gave away the largest and most important power they, and the people had. It was THE MOST IMPORTANT CHECK AND BALANCE IN THE CONSTITUTION. That is the power to coin money and to regulate the value thereof!

Once that power is given to private individuals, then they produce endless quantities of money to BUY ALL THE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, THUS SUBVERTING THE ENTIRE CONSTITUTION, AND OWNING THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT.

The U.S. Constitution gives your elected representatives, Congress, the following most important power: Article I, Section 8:

“1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

2: To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;

3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

5: To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

6: To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;”

NOWHERE in the Constitution does it allow Congress to simply give away their responsibility to private individuals! Thus it was illegal and improper of them to do that. I sincerely think that every law passed since the fake “Federal Reserve Act” should be in question due to the fact that our lawmakers have been compromised. Since that time, their interests have not been our nation’s interests.

Because of this, we don’t really have an elected government working on behalf of the people (Donald Trump may be the first exception to this since JFK, and there is a historic WAR occurring between his team and the Deep State right now).

Our money (the debt Dollar) is not real and not even legal, not because it’s not backed by gold, but because of WHO is behind it! What’s most important about money is WHO, NOT WHAT!

And so now our government is FAKE, our markets are FAKE, our statistics are FAKE, our media is FAKE, our wars are FAKE, our “intelligence” is FAKE, our pursuit of “Security” is FAKE, our entire judicial system is FAKE, our science is FAKE, our medicine is FAKE, and I could go on.

It’s a tough reality to swallow, and it even goes much deeper than that. This is so difficult for most people to accept, that they live in a totally FALSE NARRATIVE – intentionally deceptive, intentionally meant to program our thinking, to distort our sense of reality.

I recently ran across the following video interview of Kevin Shipp. Mr. Shipp is Ex-CIA. He is a well-spoken truth-teller who not only spells out who, what, and how big the Deep State is, but he is rare in that he understands the money connection and how it is the root of the problem.

I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to watch all the following interviews – it will take some time, so please come back and view them as you can – THEY ARE REALITY that simply cannot and should not be ignored.This reality impacts YOU, it impacts your family, it impacts the markets, and it impacts your wealth. It will make you angry. Understanding this reality is necessary, and it is the place to start, to understand how and why reality in a vast number of other subjects has also been distorted.

Part 3 asks for a $2.99 rental fee – I encourage everyone to support truth tellers like Mr. Shipp.

*A personal experience note: I was an Air Force officer and pilot for 15 years. It was the AVIP (anthrax program) that opened my eyes to how money, politics, and the deep state work. I left the Air Force and abandoned any retirement from my service due to this. This program was a FOR REAL CONSPIRACY. These sociopaths did not and do not give a rip about anyone. It was Mueller and Comey who “investigated” 9/11 and the anthrax that was mailed around our nation. I can tell you that the dissemination of actual anthrax was 100% a CIA operation! It was tied not only to 9/11, but also it was tied to Bioport, Inc. of Lansing, Michigan, who were the makers of the Anthrax vaccine.

Former Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, Admiral Crowe, was given 13% of Bioport, Inc. stock to lobby the Pentagon to make the vaccine mandatory for everyone in the military. This from a member of the Bin Laden family (yes, brother of Osama Bin Laden) who bought Bioport and gave the stock to Admiral Crowe. It is my opinion that he was a traitor to his nation. This is how he spent his "retirement" according to Wikipedia,

"He sat on the boards of Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Pfizer, Norfolk Southern Corporation, and General Dynamics. He also served on the board of Emergent BioSolutions(then Bioport), a company that provided controversial anthrax vaccinations to the U.S. military in the 1990s. The deal was approved by the Clinton administration, with which Crowe had a previous relationship. At the time of his death, Crowe served as the chairman of the board of Global Options, Inc., an international risk-management and business solutions company headquartered in Washington, D.C."

This is DEEP STATE. This is how they operate. There were brochures made to justify these vaccines, and they were 100% lies – easy to uncover lies. Many people fought this program and the FDA shut Bioport down as many lawsuits were filed.

Shortly after the program was shut down, 9/11 occurred, and then anthrax was mailed around the nation. The following video is an accurate description of the other reasons why this occurred – it was a Deep State operation, this is what they do to get what they want – note the two characters involved in this “investigation:”

The REALITY IS THIS: Not only does the Deep State kill innocent people to get what they want, the markets are 100% FAKE and controlled by the same string pullers. This is reality – it is not pleasant, but once you know this reality, then you will understand that the “markets” are moved to achieve their objectives. In other words, when the oligarchs get what they want, everything goes up. When they aren’t getting what they want, then they use markets as a weapon against those who oppose them.

Reality? You bet. When you dive into “mainstream” markets, you are diving into this morass. This is exactly why I no longer participate or support anything mainstream, especially their markets. The rise of Cryptos is a direct result of this, and it is what will ultimately reverse this. But we need every soul to stand up – our collective conscious needs your awareness and support.

For those that missed it, an off road motorcycle crash left me with 3 vertebral compression fractures along with 3 broken ribs in my back. That accident occurred February 1st, so it’s been almost 3 weeks now.

Tough is how I describe my recovery so far. The first order of business is to prevent the fractures from getting worse. That means having any stress off my back. Yet laying down horizontal in almost any fashion is very uncomfortable – and that has resulted in very limited sleep. That limited sleep is translating into difficulty writing, so please be patient as I recover. I am paying attention to the markets and other events, so as I have the energy I’ll get my thoughts out to you. There are major forces at work right now, and major market turning points approaching in nearly all markets; Those that are REAL (Cryptos), those that are underlying real but highly manipulated (gold, silver, oil, other commodities), and those that are 100% FAKE AND MANIPULATED (Stocks, Bonds, Government Statistics, Derivatives of all types, etc).

And Then There’s Paul Singer’s Update:

“…one of the most brilliant scams in history.”

“We all laugh at primitive tribes which used large stones (or pigs) as currency. Well, laugh as you will, but a stone or a healthy pig is something. Cryptocurrencies are nothing except the marketing power of inventors, financiers and others who love the idea of buying a black box (which is obviously empty) for the price of a Kia and dreaming that it will turn into a Mercedes. There have been times recently when this dream has materialized within hours.”

“This [cryptocurrency] is not just a bubble. It is not just a fraud. It is perhaps the outer limit, the ultimate expression, of the ability of humans to seize upon ether and hope to ride it to the stars…

But is it not glorious that when the equivalent of nothing attracts priests and parishioners who run up the price, the very willingness of the mob to buy it at higher and higher prices is seen as validation of the thing, rather than an indication of the limitless ignorance of swaths of the human race?”

All the above is quoted from billionaire Paul Singer who also just happened to be a part of the group (including Hilary Clinton) that funded the completely fake “Trump Dossier.”

Well, news flash for Mr. Singer: It is YOU who runs one of the biggest scams in human history – namely the hedge fund named Elliott Management. Your wealth, power, and control are derived from trading in 100% fake financial instruments that not only make a pig blush in its relative brilliance, but your profession and trade are predicated upon the emptiest of all negative value instruments in the history of humanity, the debt DOLLAR.

Bitcoin is not the fraud, it is by far THE MOST VALUABLE form of money ever invented! How so? It is the first form of “money” that is NOT centralized by “decree of the King.” It is the FIRST money to break the MONOPOLY on what money is!

That means, Mr. Singer, that YOU DON’T CONTROL IT! And that terrifies you and all ilk like you. And you should be terrified! Because the base where you derive your power and control is crumbling – YOUR MONOPOLY IS OVER.

The FUD that you propagate is simply not believable, no more than the fake dossier and narrative you helped to promulgate. The fake “markets” manipulated by people like you ARE OF NO CONSEQUENCE to REAL PEOPLE any longer. I, for one, could care less about those fake markets, I only pay attention at this point to keep track of your criminality.

Good Riddance, Mr. Singer – Hell, and hopefully prison will see you soon.

For everyone else who wish to support the advancement of humanity, please pay attention to the Bitcoin chart below:

As I pointed out in my last update, Bitcoin produced a historic buy signal, and has been climbing ever since. First it broke the 200dma, then the descending wedge, now it’s breaking what would be the upper boundary of a descending channel, and next it will break the 100dma on its way to getting over the $13,800 resistance level.

Litecoin is the best looking chart of all the Cryptos right now. It is obvious that money is flowing into both BTC and LTC, while most of the Alt-Coins are not in cycle remaining mostly flat for now. Remember that BTC leads, all the others follow.

You can see that in the Percentage of Total Market Cap chart below, BTC’s share of the market has turned back up slightly with BTC at 38.7% of market share:

Also note that total Market Cap of all Cryptos has risen 25% since my last update, now totaling $510 million, up from the $400 million support level:

That was a really fast 25% gain. I still think we reach the Trillion dollar mark somewhere mid-year.

Despite my loathing of fake people like Mr. Singer, I will be doing a big picture market update for all the major FAKE markets soon. In that update I will point out what to watch for as the central controllers continue to destroy the value of the debt dollar, and how to know if they are manipulating another debt deflation cycle (and why), or if the end-game for the current version of the debt dollar (still more inflation) has arrived.

Until then, stay real, stay decentralized, and may Karma catch up quickly to those that promulgate FUD.
